A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    It’s really funny because when I looked at this picture the first thing I noticed was her comforter. I know she got it at Ikea. I’m in Amsterdam right now and the program that I came here through provided sheets. Everyone in my program has those sheets!
